Music Video: Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie

After five long years the Red Hot Chili Peppers have returned, with their new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and their original sound back intact.

Anthony Keidis said,

There's no question that performing on a rooftop (emulating the Beatles) on Santa Monica Boulevard is the perfect insertion for the band, back into the music world. Have a listen, tell me what you think.

The Pharrell Williams Research Center in Virginia Beach has to be one of the most innovative and brilliant ideas of 2011. Pharrell Williams has teamed up with Oppenheim Architecture + Design to create an afterschool center in Pharrell's hometown, keen on helping kids with their studies and propelling their creativity, in order to devolop young entrepreneurs of tomorrow. Pharrell and Oppenheim met at Art Basel in 2008, with a similar vision: they wanted to make the world a better place. The young entrepreneur explains:

"I believe the architecture of a building says a lot about its soul and I wanted a building for the center that makes a statement to the world and the kids, something that will stand as a monument of optimism, and felt Chad was the only architect that could capture that. We want the building to look like something out of the future, so it will inspire the kids in it to aspire to greater things."
